Wrap the original query in either a CTE or a temporary table.
eg

=> SELECT REPLACE(name, '_', ' ') AS nm FROM subs ORDER BY lower(nm);
ERROR:  column "nm" does not exist
=> SELECT * FROM (SELECT REPLACE(name, '_', ' ') AS nm FROM subs) AS t
ORDER BY lower(nm);
[results]
=> WITH t AS (SELECT REPLACE(name, '_', ' ') AS nm FROM subs)   SELECT
* FROM t ORDER BY lower(nm);
[results]
